I disagree.  My only mistake is not sending this out for comments
earlier.  Process and policy should be bottom up, coming from discussion
inside of the community. Proposals should be brought to the oversight
board fully formed and vetted by the community.  Everything should be
public.

	the no -1 rule is in the proposal, but it seems to me +0's should be
null votes, or am I misunderstanding something?

I talked to many of the core devs about this over the last few weeks,
but pulled most of the numbers out of my ass.  So they may or may not be
reasonable.

Agreed, both for cause and because of atrophy.
